Chasidut sur L’Exode 6:7
וְלָקַחְתִּ֨י אֶתְכֶ֥ם לִי֙ לְעָ֔ם וְהָיִ֥יתִי לָכֶ֖ם לֵֽאלֹהִ֑ים וִֽידַעְתֶּ֗ם כִּ֣י אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹ֣הֵיכֶ֔ם הַמּוֹצִ֣יא אֶתְכֶ֔ם מִתַּ֖חַת סִבְל֥וֹת מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Je vous adopterai pour peuple, je deviendrai votre Dieu; et vous reconnaîtrez que moi, l’Éternel, je suis votre Dieu, moi qui vous aurai soustraits aux tribulations de l’Égypte.
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 6,7. “I will acquire you to be My people,….and you will know that I am Hashem.” (The Merciful One) The new revelation to Moses here is that whereas other nations cannot grasp the concept of Hashem with their brains at all, the Jewish people have been granted this dimension of perception of Hashem. The tool which enables us to have such insight is the Torah and the commandments contained in it which G’d has given to us as a gift. This “gift” is spelled out in verse 8. As a result of making proper use of these gifts we, the Jewish people, have a better understanding of the Shechinah, and what this term implies.
